Forecasts

Caliente (11/4), Guru's Pride (11/4), Trip To Africa (5/1), Peaceful Day (6/1), Born To Perform (15/2), African Sunrise (8/1), Duc D'Orange (9/1), Williams Land (12/1), Hexatonic (25/1), Amor Ardiente (33/1), Clouds Of Witness (40/1)

Verdict

CALIENTE headed the market last time out, but is worth keeping onside. Peaceful Day gets the nod among the rest, while Clouds Of Witness also seems unlikely to be far away.

  1. CALIENTE (SAF)
  2. PEACEFUL DAY (SAF)
  3. CLOUDS OF WITNESS (SAF)
